Many of my first time tarot clients are very nervous, superstitious, or misinformed about how the tarot works. I know there are tarot readers out there that really play up the mystical side of the tarot, but I am not one of them. The cards are a spiritual tool that can be used by anyone who decides to give them a try. With practice anyone can be a good reader and using the tarot in your daily life can be very beneficial.

I see the tarot as a way to communicate with the higher-self of whomever I'm reading for. Each card has meaning and along with its particular placement within a spread. Add these elements together and you get a clear picture of what your higher-self is trying to say. No super powers required. This makes me more of a translator than a psychic. I do get very deep insight from my intuition, but understanding the language of tarot symbols has never let me down. Many people who have never studied the tarot grasp the card meanings quickly based on how they feel when they see the card. There are many elements involved in learning and understanding the tarot, but anyone can get started with a deck and a good reference book. I highly recommend The Tarot Revealed: A Beginner's Guide by Paul Fenton-Smith available on Amazon.

When I am doing a reading I like to point out that nothing is set in stone but the past. You always have free will and choice. The very act of having the reading can change your perspective which can change your path. A reading's prediction is only going to stay the same if you stay on the same path and do nothing different. When someone draws a slew of reversed cards with hard meanings, I tell them that with effort these negative cards can be avoided or changed. The choice is theirs to make.

The main point I'm trying to make is there is nothing to fear from the tarot. The tarot is a tool of self discovery and great adventure. It is also a creative outlet and great friend in hard times. The tarot can connect you to your higher-self in ways you never thought possible. Throw those superstitions out the window and lets explore the world of tarot together!

I believe in Intuition. That little whisper that lets you know if your headed in the right or wrong direction. That voice that sometimes gets drowned out by the chaos of everyday life. When we heed that intuition not only do we feel confident in ourselves and the path we are taking but great things tend to follow. No one ever got anywhere great by ignoring their intuition.

I believe in magic and energy. Many magical things have happened to me in my life so many in fact that I cannot deny the forces of magic. The universe has provided for me out of thin air, heard my desires and answered with more than Ive asked for to start with. I have watched life come into this world and I have experienced death and in my eyes it is all magic and energy. I find that with concentration and will power I can manifest almost anything into existence which is also pretty damn magical.

I believe that People are People. Regardless of their make, model, mistakes and choices everyone has a soul that is eternal and part of the one love. Just because someone takes a different path to the same destination does not mean he is better or worse than another. It means that he is having a different experience. At some point in space and time we have been and will be everything there is to be because the point of life is experience and you do not learn the experience of earth from one perspective, you learn it from many.

I believe in Reincarnation. I know I have lived before and I know I will live again. My brain can not accept the idea that we live one life and we are done. We live in an infinite universe of possibilities how could we possibly learn anything in just one go?! It just doesn't make sense to me. Energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only be changed in to different forms. Why would we be any different?

I believe in Karma. I believe that actions do have consequences (good and bad) that can bridge across life times or keep you trapped in patterns until you wake up and realize whats going on. For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. Karma and manifestation work on the same principals of what you give is what you get. I like to think of it as unbiased cosmic scale that must be balanced.

I believe in Love. I believe that love can heal, liberate and change everything. When we can approach situations out of love instead of fear or hate there is hope. Hope that we can come together to heal our true mother, Earth.
